Be.Bo.P 13th note for international coordination: REMINDERS AND QUALITY CONTROL RULES OF PROCEDURE

 


BeBoP13 (Be.yond.Bo.undaries: People) 

24/03/2024 

Thirteenth INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION note BB13

WARNING: It seems that the decision to swap the place of implementation of the cooperative mobilities named C3 and C5 results from a series of misunderstandings. Ultimately, for the Italian team, C5 in November 2025 is a good solution. And the maintenance of C3 in Cluj-Napoca is also satisfactory for the Romanian team. The initial schedule is maintained as is, contrary to the decision apparently taken at the conclusion of the debates held in Cesme... but take care that C5 slips after the summer of 2025: in November (due to the limitation of two outings at most each year, imposed by the coordinating high school). One of the remote meeting (R3/R4) may be postponed too...

C1 DEBRIEF AND DISSEMINATION TABLE \/\/

The drawing produced by the students will serve as a common coat of arms for the partners and will now appear on all official documents (correspondence, attendance certificates, media sites). The laurels evoke the initial logo of the project, which remains in force for internal exchanges between project holders and as a “brand” of the coordinator and the Be.Bo.P section on the NBE+ (Notre Bureau Européen) site. Laurels evoke the different empires and the status of borders, at their limits as well as within their vast territories, but they also allude to Greco-Roman civilization, studied by the target group in France, the country initiating the partnership. The rope evokes the naval specialization of the Turkish secondary school, organizer of the first exchange, and the limit between the sea and the continent, a natural but also political border, interface and dividing line. It also refers to the imagination of travel. The blades of the central windmill recall the transitions in progress and feature the flags of the countries represented in the cooperation; they are arranged around a very “small planet”, in order to underline that our world is faced with challenges that no nation can claim to meet alone. The twelve stars refer to the European Union and more broadly to the need for solidarity and unity in order to support a transnational collaborative effort. 

C1 REPORT AND EVALUATION

C1 PHOTOGRAPHIC REPORT ONLINE is available in Notre Bureau Européen NBE+ (made for project holders) as also a RELEVANCE CHECKING PAGE (both in the COOPERATIVE MOBILITIES part) and C1 CONTROL QUALITY is edited in the FOLLOW UP part of the same website / please put information in your own school site and/or some links to NBE+

C1 OUTPUTS

The most part of the Be.Bo.P intellectual outputs are published in our project showcase, whose name is LegendE+ (also managed by Lycée Ravel). It is done in the section names DELIVERABLES made to promote all the works we exchanged during the meeting; this part will be completed in the future.. each mobility marking a deadline for the products we planned to realize at home, according our Work Timeline (centered on WP2). But most of the expected production (and the best ones) resides in the transnational workshops concretely implemented in the framewok of the cooperative mobilities: the results will be promoted on the scientific popularization site (Be.B.o.p.explorer - unless there is a last minute name change – three parts: Science tools, Discoveries, Drawings ) or in the VIDEO/DOCUMENTARY section soon to open (from of C2) in LegendE+ / please put information in your own school site and/or some links to LegendE+

ISSUES OF THE C2 PLENAR COMMITTEES

PAGE 3/3

PC1 FOLLOW UP

      1. Tasks reporting procedure: inventory, gaps, activities to be described before the month of June to help draft the interim report.

      2. Budgetary situation: we will need each school to establish the total amount of costs it has incurred, before C2 then after C2. It is necessary to show an overall consumption of 70% of the first tranche (by all the partners and not by each of them) to be able to claim payment of the second part of the subsidies.

      3. Setting the timetable: at least approximate dates for localized cooperation C4, in Portugal (planned in January according to the application) and -if it's possible- precise for C3 (with a view to pre-recruiting students before going on vacation this summer).

PC2 QUALITY CONTROL

  1. Satisfaction questionnaires

  2. Efficience and Impacts (tools for measurement)

  3. Targeted groups: an update on the initial selection criteria as transmitted to the IC, a debate on the recruitment strategy accompanying the evolution of the calendar and taking into account cost inflation

PC3 PEDAGOGIC MONITORING

      1. WP2 management (Latvia, Italy) : main outputs of the first phase (A4 and A5) and goals for next year (A5+A6) and C5.

      2. WP3 management (France, Turkey) : contributions expected for C4 (Portuguese navigators) and future dissemination

      3. WP4 management (France, Portugal) : progression and schedule, insertion in the mobilities

      4. WP5 management (France, Romania)

WP2 (module 2 SUR LES FRONTIÈRES) LEARNING SESSIONS CENTERED ON BORDERS : in the classrooms, also in some remote coworkings, and in the collaborative workshops implemented during mobilities C1,C2, C3 and C5

WP3 (module 3 VERS L'INFINI ET AU DELÀ) PRODUCE A POPULAR SCIENCE WEBSITE: topic is the understanding of the world, the known and the unknown; the most important of deliverable output after the documentary movie

WP4 (module 4 DANS TOUT LE ROYAUME) PRODUCE A DOCUMENTARY FILM: considering “climate refugges” among other subjects (transnational footage from C2 and in the following meetings, local interviews about migration to be shared in C4)

WP5 (module 5 DANSER SUR UNE PETITE PLANÈTE) DANCING and LIVING TOGETHER: in order to produce a choregraphied transnational performance at the end of the partnership (and to share good times all along the project is ongoing)

FGC2 / French team ready for going to Norway!

 


Les élèves de la section euro anglais de première du lycée Maurice Ravel (Saint-Jean-de-Luz) se préparent pour leur séjour au lycée "Eilert Sundt" de Farsund, en Norvège. Après avoir accueilli leurs homologues norvégiens en octobre dernier, c’est en effet leur tour de découvrir le lycée partenaire dans le cadre d'un voyage se déroulant du 7 au 12 avril !


Ils vont pouvoir poursuivre leur étude des enjeux sociétaux et durables transfrontaliers dans le cadre de leur projet de mobilité Erasmus+ baptisé «Green across borders» (FGC 2). Cet échange est une véritable opportunité de travailler de façon collaborative tout en appréhendant les différences culturelles et en partageant des valeurs et des pratiques respectueuses de l’autre et du milieu dans lequel nous vivons.

Ce sera également l’occasion pour les lycéen.ne.s  de pratiquer la langue anglaise et de développer leurs compétences numériques. Les élèves travailleront en groupes sur des études de cas, en interviewant un acteur local et en réalisant une présentation orale de leur travail à l’ensemble de la communauté éducative et des parents.

Un programme pédagogique riche! L’enthousiasme et l’impatience se font sentir chez les deux  partenaires !

BB12 INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION NOTE FOR THE SECOND CHECK POINT

 

BeBoP12 (Be.yond.Bo.undaries: People) 17/03/2024 

 Twelth INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION note BB12




CHECK POINT 2 

    My dear colleagues, as you know: we must strictly apply our activities plan in the hope to be funded before Christmas (we need very quickly the second tranche payment in order to organize mobility C4 and the following activities and that is the reason why our objective is to send the progress report to the National Agency in June). To succeed in this challenge, Sanita implemented three brainstorming sessions during C2 but we'll try to overcome all the problems during the two first project holders plenar comittees (it may let us free on Friday afternoon). A common feedback process is to be done after CP1 and CP2 (first pedagogical phase termination) 

    Our agenda:

    1 Missing information or contents and decisions about Timeline: C3 date must be fixed, and your tasks reporting tables be sent to the International Coordinator / normally at the same time you are doing the workshop. Slides or videos made with C1 as a deadline (shown during the strudy travel or not) will be edited in LegendE+ in a couple of days. Please accept each school has 10/15mn in the sharing workshops for the students to present themselves and shortly explain what sort of activities they did in link with the project, but consider only a sample is to be exhibited in front of the partners. The other contents (mainly carried out in the framework of WP2) are published in our public website devoted to propaganda.

    2 Internal and external dissemination: NBE+ for the project's background and LegendE+ for the public dissemination. Instructions for the best use of all the schools websites and reminder about “Be.Bo.P explorer”.

    3 Organisational and Pedagogical issues: Quality Control: not only satisfaction measurement but conformity to the initial engagements and efficience (impacts, spends) WP5: what's about A13 Activity (Séverine and Ramona are leaders for this activity)?



Scheduling

Find below the timeline for Cooperative mobility C2 (it's a draft, Latvian team may have to make some changes). Please try to give to Baldone's team information about your flights and the rooming very fast. Reminder the goal is to take 4 or 5 pupils in each study travel and it means 20/25 learners in the totality of the partnership's process. You can adjust this number to your financial situation, even if the Agency does consider it's a better strategy to make all the mobilities you promised or even to add students more. WP5: performing a first common ballet is planned. WP4: training and practical exercices will be implemented under the supervision ofw our external expert (Jean-Luc and Ana as leaders). WP3 activities: in each school for this time. WP2 goals: mainly across visits and reporting. Sharing of local outputs is no more the bigger challenge of the KA2 partnerships Most of the sharings could be remotely done by videoconference but mobilities stay useful to mark the deadlines.




DISSEMINATION

INTERNAL ISSUES. 

Work packages description is available on this page in NBE+ https://nbeplus.franceserv.eu/BBmonitor2.html / the real timeline is edited in the following page. NBE+ is the website for project holders made by the international coordinator with sometimes information in a especially devoted part for learners in France ( you'll find in https://nbeplus.blogspot.com/ a copy of the International Notes wixh are our Journal Officiel). Erasmus+ corner and board in your schools are necessary: please take pics of these tools and share in order to report to the EU.

EXTERNAL PROPAGANDA. 

Best outputs and deliverables are shown on the LegendE+ website https://legendplus.franceserv.eu/ ; your local website must have a link to this showcase and you may at the same time open some dedicated pages in your own portal. It is possible to give you the right to post by yourself in the NBE+ blogspot or to put online files but the IC can do it as well. Concerning Be.Bo.P explorer we are still waiting for a confimation of the site's name and each schol will have to choose a special user to nurish it. Reminder: three sort of contents are wanted for esplorer. Maths and Physics (mainly by France and Turkey) History of Sciences and Discoveries, drawings.

AFTER C1 IN CESME

Photograph report was done and published in NBE+ and the good relevance of implemented activities was analyzed in the same website / you'll find asap some observations about the Quality in the FOLLOW UP part even if we'll try to make a joint review after C1 and C2 (common feedback of CP2 and CP3).

I am preparing the edition (before the end of next week or I hope so) of the deliverables in the LegendE+ public site where a video report will be also available. Probably some of your products are not on my USB ( I tried to pick up the materials in the Ulusoy School's Theatre). Missing ones can be given during C2.

For the moment I keep in my archives the other contents you sent me in order to see it later. I think you well understand you are very free to make every sort of activities around our topic (known/unknow and borders transgression) as an addition to the main matters we are obliged to deal with... but do not forget we must fist try to accomplish the promises done in the applicant form. The International Coordinator must be able to explain the reasons of any change we may collectively decide.

BEST REGARDS TO ALL OF YOU AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO TURKISH AND LATVIAN TEAMS.


Pierre-Laurent Vanderplancke
Chef de Projet

IMPORTANT

If it's possible

give me please the total amounts of your spends done after C1

(without the funds you use for C2)

I will have to communicate about the level of financial engagement after CP2 and CP3

BB11 INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION NOTE BEFORE THE LATVIAN MEETING IN APRIL, 2024

 

BeBoP11 (Be.yond.Bo.undaries: People)

10/03/2024 – Eleventh INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION note BB11



Second Cooperative meeting in Baldone is coming soon

Hello Dear friends.

Find below some details about the next cooperative mobilities I am sending you with the agreement of Sanita and the Latvian team in order to help you to prepare the next exchange

BEST REGARDS!


I - C2 MOBILITY TO LATVIA

I.1 Slides, movies or speeches by each school (sharing of local activities)

I.1.1 / REMINDER OF THE FIVE SPECIFIC GOALS OF C2 MOBILITY

wars and boundaries (Ukrainan refugees, other bad impacts of conflicts)
across the fontiers by cultural sharings
local History : empires and frontiers
training sessions by a video/photo expert
festive exchanges (Latvian dances to make together, a ballet to improve about our hymn)

I.1.2 / TOPICS YOU MAY WORK ON BEFORE THE EXCHANGE (IN ORDER YOUR STUDENTS PRESENT A SLIDE OR A VIDEO ABOUT)

Only two of the specific topics we have to study in Riga may be used for a slide or a video by schools. First one is about frontiers/politic borders (across the fontiers by cultural sharings+local History : empires and frontier / these themes Baldone school has planned to explore thanks to dedicated visits) Second one is about wars and boundaries (Ukrainan refugees, other bad impacts of conflicts).

PLEASE PRESENT ONLY CONTENTS ABOUT political frontiers (and/or wars and refugees) nowadays or in a historical outlook, depending of academic purposes in your country. Note « Citizen, Foreigner and Alien » is a topic to keep for C4 .

I.1.3 / CONCRETE METHODOLOGY

Your students may present quicky the list of local activities implemented in your school (only if you want to valorize it / but normally the project holders know these details thanks to the edition in our official journal : the NBE+ blogspot if you reported in the activity grids as it is planned by our monitoring method).

All your slides will be edited in our showcase (LegendE+ dissemination website) but only one output be presented in Latvia.

PLEASE LIMIT TO TEN MINUTES THE DURATION OF YOUR PERFORMANCE since sharing of local works is only a secondary point in the framework of our mobilities.

We cannot dedicated to this activity many times but we must respect deadlines and put online the outputs as the same time of the exchanges are implemented (many products and mainly the deliverables prepared by Turkish students were not shown to the audience in Cesme because we had no time enough (but I will valorize it online).

I.2 Schedule draft

Do not forget the goal of the first pedagogic phase (2023/2024 school year) is A4 activity « Study the definition of the city and the borders (thus of the territory) »; it is the main of the six aims for year n°1 you can see in the monitoring part of our coordination website NBE+

 https://nbeplus.franceserv.eu/BBmonitor3.html

Some transnational workshops will be implemented about 1) dance, 2) empires and frontiers thanks to The War Museum, to nurish some debates about Borders, Russia, war in Ukraine, security, 3) a photo orientation game should be realized in Old Riga.

https://www.karamuzejs.lv/lkm/about-museum

Cultural visits are planned (Rundale, Bauskaspils...

https://rundale.net/en/

https://www.bauskaspils.lv/en/



Students will take part in two workshops centered on documentary since C2 is the mobility to prepare the video package implementation (WP 4) as the same time this is the conclusive meeting of learnings about the frontiers. It means : one lesson about video footage by Louis Fabriès / one or two reporting movies to do in a transnational mode / comments of the rushes and perhaps first montage session by Louis Fabriès



I.3 Evaluation

Latvia and Italy are in charge of supervision during the first year of the second package named « SUR LES FRONTIÉRES » . WP2 programme is: Study the crossing of borders of all kinds and the limits of knowledge, in a historical and transversal approach: therefore, relate to a global vision (priority n°2) combining practical, interdisciplinary and covariant learning, in an international context and it can be divides in two parts.
2.1 Define the territorial border and its evolution over time T1
2.2 Study the overcoming of all other borders and measure the consequence of these advances and/or transgressions T1-T2

It will be mainly up to them to think at the end of this educational year on the goals which were already (totally or partially) targetted and to give some leads to help the organizers of C3 (Roma / instead of Cluj-Napoca afeter we reformatted the agenda) and C4 (Montijo).



II. QUALITY CONTROL AND ISSUES OF TEACHERS' BRAINSTORMING MADE IN C1

II.1 WP2 MONITORING

website was especially created by the Turkish team in order to put online some tools about the limits between « known and unknown » : it is the main deliverable we promised to give as a result of our science module (WP 3 coordinated by France and Turkey). Teachers did check it is very easy to show graphics and measure instruments made using python language. French and Turkish contributors are the only one who promised to make Mathematics and or Physics in this spot the name coulf be « Be.Bo.P explorer ». A part is devoted to History of Sciences and Dicoveries and must be open to contributions from all the parners. There will be also a third chapter, for drawings. We'll see further if some of these products (especially pictures made in Roma) may be impelmented in the code to serve as a graphic chart in all the posts. The Turkish school will ask for a user name in each country (it should be the responsible for WP3 according to the Gantt Chart).

II.2 WP1/A1 GLOBAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Due to local arrangements the Headmaster decided in France, the project scheduling must be changed and C5 be postponed (moving from summer, 2024) to november or december 2025. Italian proposal to organize C3 instead of the Romanian team was accepted.




Only one step is remaining : plan the exact dates for C3 implementation / it must be done in C3. The idea is to do that during the first or the second week in november. If it is not possible, perhaps to advance it a little. In any case : try to fix it asap. Concerning C4 : January is no more a priority since there is no mobility planned later in the same school year. But we cannot do it very late in 2025 due to exams.

II.3 WP1/A2 QUALITY CONTROL FOLLOW UP Some reminders were done by the International Coordinator about deadlines and/or the missing information at this moment. It is absolutely necessary to be very strict in the application of the plan and/or to well justify any change. Moreover we need more money asap in order to apply the project. A progress report is to be made by the IC during this summer. Then we should hope to have the second part of our european funds before january, 2025, perhaps even earlier.
